I recently had a job. The homeowner was a real pain. Turn lights on and off to see if she liked the slight sheen on limestone, if not, she had my guys redo the area. Squatting down and looking up shower walls and pointing out spots that need more work. Having my guys leave on the sealer to point that it was dried on the stone. Having them service areas that was not on my proposal.  Look like she was playing twister checking out their work.
 
She e-mail me that she had more work for me, I responded by telling her to find some one else, she was not happy with that response.

Its that same old story brother.
Money talks -bullshit walks!
Most GC and builders we work are good guys-others we must get paid prior to doing any work.

Hey Gang a couple of weeks ago I sent a pic for a project we were bidding, it was a white carrera floor installed in 1923, and it had thick grout lines (think Saltillo install, instead of Saltillo u have marble ). The company who was trying to do the job could not eliminate deep scratches that were all over the floor. I met the GC/owner and supervisor and they gave me the story they all give "we have a lot of jobs, we need a good price, we need it done ASAP.  ".I asked did the other company give you mock up, (they said no), I have heard that story from GCs about having plenty of work, and on this job no mock up that told me all I need to know. I told him that without the mock up I can't give him a price.  He said he would call me for the mock up.  I got home and did some research on the GC/owner and they have opened 3 companies in 3 yrs.
They called me yesterday with the same problem, and they were asking questions about the floor.  I told them they were consulting fees and a retainer before I started.  Man the man was furious he said I was con man and he was going to report me to BBB and the MIA.  I told him thank you, and one other thing how can you report me if I have not done one job for you.

Gang, value yourself and expertise don't get pushed around. Btw just got a job floor installed 1945 and 3 times the size of the 1923 floor
